> Rioting is an old Swedish tradition.
...Jonas,<br />> Rioting is an old Swedish tradition.<br /><br />As an American I'll leave it to you as to whether rioting is a Swedish tradition, but stipulating that you're correct, how sad that it's apparently the ONLY Swedish tradition <i> those people </i> (I know how that sounds; that was not an accident) have picked up.<br /><br />You make good points regarding absent parents, a culture of having everything served up to you, and adulation of criminality (thug rap anyone, the way "pimp" has become a <i> positive </i> term in the vernacular !!!) and those are problems we also have in the US. (And we've had our riots as well.) But the problem is that many of the correctable causes of the poverty etc that leads to the rioting (poor education and functional illiteracy, not to mention inability to use the standard spoken language; loss of work ethic; loss of family structure*) which are class/economic/educational issues, have been conflated with race and ethnicity, and therefore become intellectual and public-policy "no go" areas. Personally I think excusing barbarism with "Well, it's their culture and ought to be respected" is not only cowardly but incredibly condescending. It implies that those being "culturally respected" are incapable of doing better. Here in the US we got rid of legal support for segregation, for example. By the Liberal logic, it was a charming white-person folkway that needed to be respected, because it was part of "their culture."<br /><br />* I don't care if it's a father and a mother, two mothers, or a father and a dog (yeah, you, Santorum) so long as someone is there to provide some stability and structure in the kids' lives.Mike_Cnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15907727.post-75403880268806544812013-05-24T10:44:36.235-04:002013-05-24T10:44:36.235-04:00Meanwhile, in another part of Sweden, the locals s...Meanwhile, in another part of Sweden, the locals suddenly had enough with a family of gypsies who had been stealing, vandalizing, letting their 13-year olds drive around in the family car etc. Solution?

The Hunkie...Boat guy and Mike James have it nailed. The Hunkies will burn their Gypsies or scare them away, the Serbs will take back at least northern Kossovo when the EU defaults, but Western Europe is done for. <br /><br />The rural French will fight, possibly resulting in some large scale deportations from Frogville, but the Brits, Germans, and Belgians are finished. I work with Mittel Europeans every day, and have family in Britain.<br /><br /> There's nothing there except surrender. Germans laugh at jackboots, most Moslem women in Spain are native Spanish (former) Catholics who converted to find a man willing to marry them and start a family, something few Western European men even consider anymore.<br /><br /> American students in Britain are required to take courses in not defending themselves in case of attack. Supposedly, complete submission is the only way the police can tell the victim from the perp, and they give you lots of money if you're hurt, raped, or crippled.<br /><br /> The Belgians have legalized Sharia for Moslem areas, along with the Swedes, the most gutless people in Europe. Which is saying something.<br /><br /> There are no babies. What little work they can get out of the Moslem entitlement class is better than nothing. There was a sad joke going around Germany a few years ago. Something about Germans not caring if the country croaks as long as there's a Turk to push their wheelchair until they die. <br /><br /> Germany has shut off the power and water to major areas in it's south-east, essentially abandoning large parts of the country. Scandinavia and Spain aren't far behind.<br /><br /> Almost 90% of Scots take more government largesse than they pay in taxes, compliments of the oil fields in the north sea (which are well past peak production). As the wells become more expensive to pump, cheap American and Canadian oil will displace whatever they can still extract.<br /><br /> Half of all Spaniards under 30 are on unemployment more or less permanently, and enjoying every well paid moment of it. <br /><br /> Birth rate essentially equals death rate, meaning a continent that is rapidly aging. Combine the retired, welfare recipients, and "refugees" and there are 3 Euros working for every 2 deadbeats. And it gets worse rapidly as the Boomer generation leaves the workplace. Peak year is 2021.<br /><br /> Ireland, Switzerland, Poland if they can maintain their borders, some of the mountainous regions of France, that's about it.<br /><br /> The Irish are the only one of the PIIGS countries to do the austerity thing and make it work, and they're an energy independent island that exports massive amounts of food, plus they have the computer business by the short and curlies. <br /><br /> The Swiss for obvious reasons, and the Poles and possibly the Baltic republics because they're halfway to Americans and have a new generation with some hustle.<br /><br /> Ukraine is already a disaster area, and Russia will become a net oil importer in 10 to 12 years. Then they can use their nuclear weapons to try and intimidate all the starving Western Europeans. They deserve each other.Ed Fosterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09676740819579030462noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15907727.post-45546363467785275392013-05-23T21:12:51.702-04:002013-05-23T21:12:51.702-04:00Man, I love your "zero to jackboots" for...Man, I love your "zero to jackboots" formulation.Borepatchhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05029434172945099693noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15907727.post-66021796919054338302013-05-23T20:25:39.499-04:002013-05-23T20:25:39.499-04:00One of the things I have taken away in my study of...One of the things I have taken away in my study of history in seminary classes is that there are periods of decades and generations of tolerance and peaceful coexistence that literally turned to burning people at the stake within less than five years.
